Those who had arrogated to, themselves the su pr-tne power, immediately conceived •a general dis cont,w against this Tribunal, and it 'welt knew. thir perils which awaited a resistance of their wishes. lu the mean time the , Freoch troops were-enter ing into the kingdom, apparently as friends and al lies, nit in the end they caused even in the most unwary, of i,tich evil'projc.:tsu it WaS not then easy to pelletize The protecti , al of a perse cutes, Prince; the occupation Lit the kingdom of Porttigal ; the defence of th.- coasts ; the'con c:,,,st of a Part . 4 Africa, were the objects 'which ls;.eased themselves to the "public expec',tation 3 --- v - ndst it was,given out in the name of the King, til3 , of the Most adva,,t3geous nature were concerked between the two Governments and the subjects were exhorted 10 treat the .troops of the Ally,-not•merely, with civility, but with atrection.— The Cout;cil observed, that even in a time of the greatest security, the confidence with which they were ree...ived t4otild have i,een imprudent, as well on acco'nit of their intalheiS as of the positions they took ; arri, above all, that "it was. contrary to the constant 'nation of not receiving the forceit or an Al ly superior in (lumber to our own, and of our per *flitting them to take possession of the castles and fortresses. lint this triuunal was obliged to stifle their inquietudes for it was not within their coo btitutiouni powers to. it,ive any controul met affairs of this nature ; besides, it was dangerous ro mani fest any aprehensionS •.vhilst a probability existed that the object of these forri:zn troops was of a ge berous :description ; or, by means 'of family con: rtexions; to support tbe intere4s of a more wurthv Prince against the projeds which he wilo then held the reins of Government might have conceived.- As the French troops drew nezr to the capital, • • Symptoms of tint.!iisiness, real or pretended, were manif.-sted by their Majties "and the Favburhe.— They talked or tardy plans of defence, and of, alter naiely, the flight of their Majesties and the'Royal Famil), at 011 e. time to At,dalusia, at another to America : all was disorder andscont4si(n ; tint :what principal)) , excited the attention of Sjnnish loyalty, was: the fortunes of their yontlatit' and beloved Prince. In this juncture of affair's, about half Past seven in 'the morning of:the iith of 'March, D: Carlos Ve loco, Chief Secretary in the Office for the Gen:Tal Staff, called upon 'the most iliustFious Presideui and im Governor, and acquainted him that the heads Of that department had just received a decree from the High Aiiibirara•ld Generadissiino, commanding them to give the neee-: , ary 4ireiaimls for the tornol,.'a: from thls capital to the Royal residence of Aranjuez, , of the Royal Corp of Rod) , Guards,' the battalions of the Royal Spanish and Walloon Guards, with _the light sql_tdrons of the Royal Carabineer , 4, and other corps belonging to the garri;bit ; and directing that the oust iliustrion; President should cause to be pub lished an Ed,a, assuring the people ttia., this area- Eure was merely an aa or precaution, to prevent any . dangers in an open town, since the alliance between the King our Suvel eign and the Etnperor of the French st• 11 existed unalterable. Velasco added, that his superiOrs had. sent Wm -to • the Most illustrious hilSt the otaial notification - was preparing, t h at h e nu ..h t exp e dite site dra wing, up rand'placard ing of the Edict. Thi! Go,ernor, who nut ad (painted witht Velasco, su4;ested that . he should write down the communication. which he had just -made and si,;ned;which being done, he went with the paper to the Council. The Council considcved the fatal' consequences -which the departure of their Majesties ?night produce, the object of which probably was no less than a ti':tai removal of the imps from this place. They- reile6ted upon what had just. happened in Portugal,. where the French troops had made the fliglit.of the Queen and Royal Family s prete e xt fur ~ eizing, that kingdom ; and where, instead of de \ dueing frotn•the abdication of thefeioing Sovlreign, the re-establishment of the nation in the. exercise of its original-right, they opt only inferred tha; any one was free to occupy it, but also they acquired a title to private property, which they coinpelleO the-oWm!rs to redeem, under such By a Roytil Order of the 3d, and another of,the 4th of April, the, CounCil was directed. to prepare the charges against the Pfince Of - the Peace,' with the view of his being speedily put upon his trial ; but on the 2tst, th.,iJuutQ of Given:talent. address ed a Decree to the Council, stating, that the Prince of I;eac , . hat'in2; .b.-en, by his Majesty, pat at the disposal of the French Emperor, they had git en or ders t - or his release accoedingly. The Council was required to publish this docuin-mt in t tie usaal forms. The regret felt by the - CJuncil on the perusal of this Decree, was not interior to that manife.itud by the whole Nation. They were, by this cireutn-' stance, confirmed in the iipibiob they began to 'orn. - 1 of the difficulties which successively opposed them selves to the ,adallnis.tption Of In a word,. they foresaw groat evils leading 'to consequence - whiCh bafti,d all ealci,latforr. • . In these delicatecircumstandcSo he Council thought fit to suspend the publication, and mile a represen-, ta , ion to his Majesty and the Supreme Jenta. It informed the latter, that the 'people at Madrid, as Well is'the Whole nation, had heard Of the assur ances 'Which had been given hy his Majesty; as well at the tinie,.,of the impriSminent of the Prince of Peace a: afterwardid hat his person 4io - 6rd be liable to such sentence as justice might pronounce on the charge of his public delinquency ; and further, that the Royal Father promised this by his R0y,.1 Decree; in which he proposed to his •MoSt Serene Ht ,dtuess, then Prince of Asturias, that he should lake mea sures for drawing up-the process which had since been referred to the Council ; that' the person accused had' attracted the universal hatred of the public, and they would not flit to manifest much displeasure at his release, since they.wete very eager tor his conciena natioo. The Council admonished his Majesty, that atfeEtion which the -people had ever shewn hint might by degrees_ become less sanguine, and in time threaten the security of the Junta itself. - . His Majesty the King, upon receiving a copr of this-memorial, transmitted the following Resolution : ----‘‘ I approve of the coniluct of the Council, in not publishing the Order which \vas seiit - them by the Government, relative to the surrender of the person ( et ti e 'Prince of Peace." Nevertheless, the, Junta inid. in the mean time deliveredtip-the priioner, and com.nunicated 'the unpleasant intelligence tO the public in two Exaraord-inary :Gazettes,' on the 22d, and to CRc. Cuuttcil, b a I.)cr ! .e, etated to be , ;rounded On a Royal VII& transmitted by Don 'Pe dro CEVALLOS. . . • The Council then proceeded to state a variety of particulars .d link ihterest,. relative to: the release of Don Manuel Gociloy's accomplices, by order of the Su. puerile Junta, and to the removal of Inc sequestration his- erfeAs a measure which they persi - sred in re tusing.to,sanetion with the Inrii.ts of Liar. At the time that the perfidious plan that had been formed was advancing to-maturity at B.iyotine, the arrogance of Prince Murat and his advisers became daily wore conspicu, , us at Madrid. 'file Council daily felt fresh inquictudes The - repeated disap pointment of their expettations of the speedy return of thc>ir young Mot - larch, th 6 departure of the Royal Parents, the marked neglea which ;vas openly twill ft..sted towards his Serene Highness the Infant Don Antonio, President. of the Supreme' Junta of Go , vernment, the menacing, tone in which the Grand Duke of Berg, and, in short,• all the Frenchmen, daily advanced in their pretensions, all tended to make them fear the most dreadful results.' • In this state of affairs it was that some steps were affeLied.to be taken to restore the Royal Sather to the Throne. 'principles of. public law as no nation ever, yet knew, Lor ambition till that hdur had conceived. More over,- the- Council trembled for - the saieiy of the Prince ; and_ it wa; proposed to impede or retard, at least 3s nltich as possible; the departure of the troops, either to the ilitept that, during this intertlal, 'and' ami , lst the diveisity of precipitate plans formed for the moment, they might have son - re time to refle6t upon what might - be the result of the departure of their Majesties; or that they might at least be able . to facitiwe the escape of the Prince, for which it was : positivelystated some secret measure had been ea dy taken, -and which was an objedof general desire. To this and the Council airlused the Chiefs of the Ge neral Sniff, daring nearly the whole of that day,. for they did not break up till our in the afternoon: They however; came to the determination, that it should be signified to the aforesaid‘Chiels, by the most il .Yustrwc:s Seignor, that it was the resolution of the Council that the Edid praptised by the Commander in Chief should . ne,t be published, until his M:ijesty, alter per Using a.report, which was about to be de- On the 20th of Ap;;..l, between the hours of two and three in the evening, the Printer, • Eusebius Alvares de la Torre, waited on the Governor, and informed hint. that sortie . Frenchmen had called on him, and requested him to strike oil some copies of a certain Proclamation, which signified the intent that the Royal• • Parents were about .to re-ascend the Tlirone. The .Printer informed the Governor, to whom he first related the fad, that he acceded to their wish,ainwilling to let them know that he was inimical to that party, and that he might be able to give a fuller account of the nature of Ake Pro clamation. In consequence of this information, Joseph Tumiel and Antonio Bibac, who stated themselves to. be dependants of General Giouchi, were arrested, and put into ; confinement. Madrid knowi the dangers- it encountered that night from the immense concourse of' inhabitants, with the French in the streets of the Arena' La Zarza, and Puerta del Sol. The symptoins of mutual soon became manifest, and most particularly amongst the sol diery ; and it-at length increased to such a pitch, that the Grand Duke of Berg no longer enjoined the ratter to keep up any sentiments of unanimity or good will with the people. He. however, made a formal complaint, in a letter to Don Antonio, the Infant, dated I.`viikirid, Apiil 23, in which he says“ ileclay,. to 'your Royal that SlCain can no 1 004 er be slibit-A to such a state of anarchy. Toe army : which I command must , not, ,cannot, disho nour itself so far as .to let:such. disorders go univa- Dished." • On the. day that this letter was delivered to.the Council, wince was given. of a Proclamation which announced Pon Carlos IV. as-Kin?, and that. Emperor of the French dill not chaise to tick nowle'it-e Ferdinand VII. This news, ak i lnignt be expected, made! the people indignant indeda. Soott, after came the dreadful day . Ot - the 2d of May. The. los; of the Spaniards amounted to 104 killed; 54 wounded, and 35 ttlissu g.. The loss of the French cbtisidera bly:more, notwithstanding the generous conduet of Some Spaniards, 'who secreted and sea many.. who had been disarmed. The day after, a Deputation, of the Junta was sent to the Grand Duke, in order to inure the lis - eS of the Spanish prisoners ; tor. it appears that lie con &ned hopes of pardon - only to the milie.ry, hu were a6ting in a lawful capacity,. under their re speaive leades s ; and that he tittered a military or der, in whieh . he resolved upon putting to death in, discriminately i and ,Without trial,: the greater part of the prisOners who were not soldiers. By the ex ert ions ofThe abOve Deputation, the order was re-' . paled ; but, notwithsta4tig, on the 4th • and sth vf the same month, - some - tew were shot, and even for Some days foilowing—whether it arose front the remissness of the , Duke nut seeing that, the ene:age,- . ment into which' he had' entered was properly tut- • filled, or-from the ferocity of some subaltern Oth- CerS, in'tiot . Obeying his orders. When the Frenchmen were taken in the-Printing I Office, in the street of Zarra, as beforeallinted the Council began to enter more deeply on the coit sideration of the public affairs : , they accordingly cause to a resolution that will the provinees of Spam should be enjoined respettivety to arm a body of uftil in proportion to their population ; and the number of the whole,, t i aceording to the estimate of the Coun cil, might amount to three hundred thousand then. Atter intiCh einisultation, however, with the knfaut _ Antonio, and" some com:nuilieation with persons who had come with -confidential instructions from Ferdinand VII. and Don Pedro Cevallos, thisresO lotion was as tending to endanger the King's Person, and prematurely to put to hazard the salety'and• independence of the kingdom.. Dun An . tuna, nevertheleSs, vegaged to transmit Mstruc ,tions privately to the Captains-General of "the Pro vioces, to rake every measure consistent with pru dence to increase their military force. On the"l3th and f4th of April the Junta addressed two Decrees to the. Council,' directing it to send a circular notice to all the Tliounals, enjoining them. to ensure, in their respective jurisdictions, the attht cordial treatment of the French troops. The Council, apprehensive that a nonce in the ierieS deli ed would thwart the defensive preparations which were going on, traionnitted a long COnsulta to the Junta on the subject of their Decrees, setting 'forth the inarty sa erifices which the people of Spain, and particularly the peasantry, had made, 'and were still inakitig; fur the aceonmindation of the French troops, as'a proof 'that they wanted - no extraordinary exhortation to treat them with every degree of : kindness,. and et patiatittgalso n the dangers which might result from any attempt to reprcss that high spirit of lo•ealty and affeetton towards their Sovereign with which the people were ani.inated, . It was oft the r2Gth . of May that the" Council re ceived the first official • inteliigefice of the patriotic movements in the Provibees. On that day, the , President received an order from the Grand Duke of Berg o' ,convoke the Members, without delay,- to . consult oh the measures proper to be taken relative to the proceedings at Velem:la. The . Councii•answered t 4 order by a Consulta, reptesentitig theinetheiency - of any resolution's or proclamations 'that they •could address to the Valencians, as the latter did nut con-• bider them as 'in, a state of freedom. • By a decree ot,' , the 3d of, May,. there hal been, trubniittecito the Council, a memerial from the . Cap-' grin-General of Catalonia, stating the Means.to which he had recourse, by subscription and otherwise, for the relief of the indigent poor in Barcelona, ,and • requeting the approbatioo and 'sant:fib/1 of that-bo dy. The Council taking all the circumstances of the state of B:irceliin4 into; cOnside,ration, were convinced that toil was onlya pretence on. the part of the Captain General, to obtain the funds necessa ry for procuring, arms. They therefore instantly sanctioned his proceedings, without. making those previuds enquiries which the usual forms enjoined. On the I 4th e the Council registered and dispatched a decree, cornmetticated to them only the day be-, foie, permitting the use of arms to the Catalonians. 1 Their celerity was must opportune; for on the 2011 i, - they were informed that the publication of the de cree would be dispensed with, if it had not already taken place. - On the 4th of May, the Junta of the Government announced to the Council, that as it' was expedient they should appoint one of the Judges : ef Police, Mi nister of the Council, they did L - 1(4• scruple to offer three persons to their attention, from whom they might make their choice. These were the Seiguors Don Domingo - Fernandez Campomanes, Don Tomas Moyailo, ,and Don Alfonzo Duran Barazabal. Ihe • fie st of these was no sooner eleCted, than on the there was received a decree from the Grand Duke, direeting the forinat•ion of a Junta of Police, having the said Seignor Campomanes for its - President; and two others, named Rail - mind and Estrienard, in qua lity of Commissaries. This the Council . . declined, quoting, iu vindication of their conduet, the laws of Millones, which prohibit any one, except he be-a• native, from obtaining or holding the offices either of Chief Magistrates, PrefeCts, or Privy Councillor's, nor even others-of 'an inferior class, which are con dined in the political Government, or the public administsation of justice. Thus war the door shUt against the favourites of the Grand Duke ; and thus were those mischiefs ohm iated, which undoubtedly must hive come upon the Stale had they been per; • mitted to influence the branches of public admini stration. Thus was , Madrid freed from the' snares which awaited her, and thus did she continue in the enjoyment of he own Magistrates.. he Count.
